Panerai Submersible Forze Speciali Experience Edition PAM01238 and Submersible Forze Speciali PAM01239

Creating instruments to serve modern heroes, leaders whose adrenaline-fueled exploits awaken the imagination is the fundamental reason Panerai exists. The Italian Special Forces represent the manifestation of that ideal; their elite military units may be called upon at any time to carry out perilous missions.

And in a year when Panerai will highlight the importance of its Submersible collection, divers watches that are essential survival tools, the Forze Speciali inspired two references: Panerai Submersible Forze Speciali Experience Edition (PAM01238) and Submersible Forze Speciali (PAM01239).

Both watches share fundamental technical specifications, though each has a specific aesthetic presence. Their 47mm cases in DLC-coated titanium are fitted with unidirectional rotating ceramic bezels. Dials featuring indexes composed of solid blocks of Super-LumiNova™ provide maximum visibility in darkness.

And small seconds and chronograph subdials, positioned at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock, are in bull’s eye formations reminiscent of a marksman’s target.

A masterwork of the Panerai manufacture in Neuchâtel, the P.9100/R movement that animates the watches is a masterpiece of the brand; the caliber has a three-day power reserve and was conceived and assembled in-house. Its workings include two highly sophisticated complications, the flyback function that allows the chronograph to reset and restart with one press of the pusher at eight o’clock and the Time to Target countdown, which indicates the time until a designated rendezvous.

To operate the countdown the watch’s wearer will repeatedly push the button at 4 o’clock to set the central chronograph hand at the desired interval; pressing the chronograph stop/ start button at 10 o’clock begins the countdown, indicating the time remaining until arrival at the target and, once it is reached, the time elapsed afterward.

The muscular design of the Panerai Submersible Forze Speciali Experience Edition (PAM01238) and Submersible Forze Speciali (PAM01239) amounts to much more than a collection of handsome details. Every element serves a purpose, to serve the specific demands of the soldiers that inspired their creation, warriors who must function with split-second accuracy by land, sea or air.

Distinguished by a green ceramic bezel, Panerai Experience engraving on its caseback and a rugged rubber camouflage strap, the Panerai Submersible Forze Speciali Experience Edition is unabashed in its focus on military-ready performance.

A second included strap in black Sportech with a Velcro closure offers an option with an understated aspect without sacrificing high-level performance. Also included is a tool to allow interchangeability of the straps and a screwdriver for removing the buckle.

Panerai is the first brand in the watch industry to present spectacular experiences associated to innovative timepieces. This is a brand new way of experiencing and living the brand, building a solid relationship with clients. The objective is to stage Panerai as a lifestyle brand, to create excitement, sell emotions and unique experiences that money can’t buy.

Available in a limited edition of only 50 pieces, the Submersible Forze Speciali Experience Edition integrates an element of adventure. Each purchaser will be invited to Italy to join Italian Special Forces troops in a series of exercises, putting the watches through their paces in the process.

Similarly, the Panerai Submersible Forze Speciali, is limited in number, with only 300 available each year beginning in 2022. The black DLC-coated titanium case is paired with a blue ceramic bezel. On the caseback is an engraving of a Marina Militare frogman, an artful reminder of its capacity for underwater exploits.

Two black straps are included with the watch, one in rubber and one in Panerai Sportech with a Velcro closure, a tool to change the straps, and a screwdriver to remove the buckle.
